This is far more a suspense thriller than a horror film but Anna is 100percent engaging just the same. Its easy to find yourself totally wrapped up in a magnetic narrative loaded with enough twists to keep viewers guessing time and again. It may seem that this one is rather predictable but thats an initial belief that is pretty much wiped away by the time weve made it into the third act. The conclusion offers a couple looks most will not see coming. The unpredictability of the pic is damn refreshing especially since writers Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes are slick enough to make us believe we know exactly whats going on when in truth were relatively far off.

Jorge Dorado’s Anna, previously known as Mindscape, has drawn unfavorable comparisons to Christopher Nolan’s Inception, due to the fact that both films involve a man peering inside the minds and memories of others to uncover long-hidden secrets. However, if you’re interested in checking out this thriller, the absolute best thing you could do for yourself would be to get that comparison out of your head. Anna is nowhere near as creative, original or exciting as that now-classic mind-bender. It’s not even on the same level. Instead, Anna is a much smaller-scale affair, content to deliver passable thrills and predictable twists while giving its two leads, Mark Strong and Taissa Farmiga, plenty of time to shine.
If that sounds like a critique, it is and it isn’t (cue Inception foghorn). Though Anna doesn’t bring much of anything to the table – and many will fault it for that,...

Who out there has been waiting with bated breath for a thriller to come along that mashes Christopher Nolan.s mind-bending Inception with the inner-mind-wandering madness of Tarsem Singh.s The Cell? Because that movie is here, and it.s called Mindscape. The Spanish-made film is the first feature directed by Jorge Dorado and first-time writer Guy Holmes, and it has just dropped its first English language trailer, as seen above. You.ll notice the preview and most news out there about the film relies heavily on telling people director Jaume Collet-Serra produced this film, and had a hand in getting it made. Unlike most films that hinge themselves to a name to sell the film to audiences, I think Mindscape actually looks better than any of Collet-Serra.s films, including the Liam Neeson action flick Unknown and the weird evil child horror Orphan. A good psychological thriller is so...

This is the first trailer and poster for Mindscape starring Mark Strong, Taissa Farmiga and Brian Cox, and an intriguing one at that. Jorge Dorado directs the thriller written by Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes, which at this time, has no Stateside release date. Folks in Spain however, can catch the film on October 31st. What I do like about this poster is that the actor names actually line up with the actor's faces. It's truly annoying when they try observe casting order but design the poster with the names unmatched. In Mindscape, a man who has the ability to enter peoples' memories, takes on the case of a brilliant, troubled sixteen-year-old girl in order to find out if she's a socioppath of a victim of trauma. The title reminds me a bit of Dreamscape, a similarly titled film of 1984 starring Dennis Quaid who tried to save the Us president who's trapped inside a dreamworld,...

Check out the very first (international) poster for Jorge Dorado‘s movie Mindscape (not hard to guess that we’re talking about a brand new psychological thriller, right?) Anyway, what definitely sounds promising is that Mark Strong stars as a man with a supernatural gift – aka the ability to enter peoples’ memories, which sounds… weird, but fun? Dorado directs the whole thing from a script written by Guy Holmes, which revolves around a man named John, who (as we said) has an ability to enter peoples’ memories. I guess that the fun-part of the story starts when John takes on the case of a brilliant, troubled...

Exclusive: After a decade, Tom Drumm has parted ways with Peter Safran. He is forming Think Tank Management and Production, a new shingle where he’ll rep clients and hatch movies and TV. When Safran left Brillstein-Grey to form The Safran Company in 2006, Drumm followed him. “Peter has been an amazing mentor, and he has given me a great head start in building my business, and creating my own company,” Drumm said. “I look forward to continuing to work with him as a producer,” said Drumm. Safran produced five films last year, including the James Wan-directed The Conjuring, the Paul Walker-starrer Hours, and the Mark Strong-starrer Mindscape. Drumm’s clients Guy Holmes wrote the script, and Jorge Dorado directed it. “It has been a pleasure working closely with Tom over the past decade and I look forward continuing to collaborate with him in the future,” Safran said.
